Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani will return to the airwaves tonight after he was rushed to hospital and read his last rites last week.
‘Mayor Giuliani appreciates the outpouring of love, support and prayers and looks forward to being back with his audience and regular viewers, behind the microphone and in front of the camera,’ Giuliani’s spokesman Ted Goodman said in a statement.
Giuliani will be back on his shows starting at 7pm Wednesday on Lindell TV. The 81-year-old will then broadcast a livestream at 8pm to cover Donald Trump‘s landmark trip to China.
Giuliani was admitted to a Florida hospital on May 3 after developing pneumonia, which his team said was made more serious by 9/11-related restrictive airway disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
So severe was his condition that Giuliani required a mechanical ventilator and a priest visited him to read him his last rites last Monday.
He was moved out of ICU last Wednesday, with his primary care physician calling it a miracle.
‘And all the prayers from around, it’s like a miracle,’ Dr. Maria Ryan said. ‘This guy’s got nine lives, today he’s doing much better.’
Giuliani, who served as New York mayor from 1994 to 2001, was left with lasting health complications after the September 11 attacks.

He has battled back from multiple health scares, including a broken back sustained in a car crash in New Hampshire last August.
He suffered a fractured thoracic vertebra, lacerations, bruising and injuries to his left arm and lower leg.
Giuliani ran for the US Senate against Hillary Clinton in 2000 but dropped out after being diagnosed with prostate cancer.
